The book contains the educative ideas of the Armenian intellectual of the last 30 years. These are ideas that help the educators, teachers and parents to shape the individuality of a growing and developing person- a pupil, a student or a citizen. In the book are also described episodes from the lives of the famous Armenians, who have educative value and have a tendency towards the principle of "the personal positive example of the elder". The book is addressed to those who are concerned with the educational problems of the growing and developing generation.
